“there’s only one place they call me one of their own”
For about a month now daughter Elizabeth has been home for a bit taking a class and getting ready to move to Jackson. I’ve really enjoyed having her here and being company for me while hubby works 15-16 hour days during the summer!
She makes coffee each morning, has cleaned some stuff out of her old room for me, washes clothes, cleans house and was even able to drive to NC with me. We had friends over Friday night to watch a movie and when we came downstairs afterwards she had taken everything out of the fridge, totally cleaned it out and reorganized everything! I could get used to having her all the time but I know she’s ready to go. 🙂
Our other daughter and her family moved back to MS this past weekend and I kept her 2 kids for 4 days so they could unload a truck and unpack everything. I was very grateful for Liz’s help in keeping kids that are very active and need lots of attention! We played with toys, went swimming, fed and changed them and she helped me bathe them each night and get them to bed. I took them back to their mom yesterday; we had tons of fun but “Aunt Wiz” and I are very tired now!
The cat is one of Katelyn’s favorite things and most days he’s pretty nice to her
For some reason, they loved the hot wheels cars that are around here
Sam in 9 months old now
“who says you can’t go home
it’s alright, it’s alright it’s alright“

Ah, one leaves and another returns. Good luck to Elizabeth and her move. Bet it will be nice having those 2 little ones so close! Sam is getting so big!

I know how much you are enjoying Liz being home. Please tell her that she’s MORE than welcome to clean out my fridge in the next few days 🙂 I wish I had gotten to see the kids, we can’t wait to go visit or have them over. I hope they get settled soon so we can all get together. I bet they do love the cat, and hopefully they’ll like our Beau. He’s a lot bigger than the cat though 🙂
Maybe you can get some rest now. Tell Don to try to get some too 🙂

I know you are so thankful to have been able to spend so much time with all your children and grandchildren lately. They are all beautiful!

Your grandchildren are beautiful and the baby is getting so big. And your pretty daughter looks a lot like her mom:) I can’t imagine moving with two small children. You get grandma-of-the-year award for helping out!

The grandkids are adorable. Such sweet pictures.

Sam has grown so fast! And what a bummer to lose your own personal coofee maker (for more reasons than just the coffee, too!).
